>Description:
http.conf.default contains
<Files .htaccess>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
It would be better to use <Files .htaccess*> because editors
like emacs leave backup files with suffixes.
>How-To-Repeat:
emacs .htaccess
>Fix:
change <Files .htaccess> to <Files .htaccess*>
(Except that would be costly in terms of CPU time, I don't that's
really an issue here...)
